The Rising Cost Of Food!
~4.5 mins read
“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well if one has not dined well.” – Virginia Woolf.

A visit to the market in recent times, and as a matter of fact, in the last one year, reveals that the cost of food items has increased drastically! Life has therefore become increasingly difficult for many Nigerians, especially the low-income earners, unemployed, and other vulnerable people.

For example, a market survey showed that a ‘Derica’ cup of beans, which previously sold for between N250 and N300, is now sold for between N500 and N600 or more. A ‘paint’ bucket of garri, which sold for around N350, is now sold at N1,500. A piece of yam tuber that initially sold for N500 or N600 is now sold for between N1,000 and N1,200. Even small sachets of milk, which were sold for N40 or N50, are now sold for N60 or N70. And the list goes on!

This relentless upward movement of prices is discouraging to many families with a limited budget. It also adds to the stresses and frustrations of many people, making life unbearable for them. It is distressing to see that foodstuffs, among other things, cost more and that taxes and utility bills of all kinds keep increasing. Something drastic needs to be done as hunger is biting hard!

The word most commonly used to describe what has been happening is inflation. Inflation is a term used in the field of Economics to describe the general and progressive increase in prices and a fall in the purchasing value of money.

According to recent data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Nigeria’s inflation rate stood at 18.12% in April 2021, although it dropped a little to 17.93% in May 2021. The report also showed that the food inflation rate rose to 22.95 per cent in March 2021 compared to 21.79 per cent in February 2021. The composite food index also rose to 22.72 per cent in April 2021 from 15.03 per cent in April 2020.

The details may differ, but the story is much the same in many other countries around the world. The cost of living is rising relentlessly. For many, bread and milk have become a luxury, and three meals a day a rarity. Rice is now usually eaten only on festive occasions because of its high cost. Those who suffer most are the unskilled labourers and poorer people, who are in no position to demand the higher and higher incomes needed to keep up with rising prices. For these people especially, inflation is a thief, a thief that robs the neediest.

Some people try to alleviate the problem by working longer hours, but others find work difficult or even impossible to obtain because of the high rate of unemployment in the country. They are forced to devote each day to the unending and often fruitless task of searching for food. For them, it is not merely a question of coping with the cost of living, but, rather, a matter of struggling to meet the cost of survival. Particularly hard hit are those on fixed incomes such as the pensioners or the unemployed.

Who or what is to blame for this growing inflation? Many people blame the government. One basic cause of rising inflation is when the government has been spending more money than they have been making. The government for their part may blame the economic policies of other countries. The International Economic Order has also been strongly criticised. Other possible contributory factors to the problem of inflation in Nigeria include the devaluation of the Naira; worsening insecurity in farming communities; increase in the cost of production; the government’s economic policies; the price of fuel; the national debt; reduction in productivity; high taxes; increase in public spending; illiquidity of the foreign exchange market; high/unfavourable exchange rate; rising unemployment, and so on.

In view of all these problems bedeviling our economy, the concerned authorities should endeavour to properly manage the situation before it spreads out of control. When the price of food items and other goods and services increases over a period of time, it affects the entire economy. It impacts the cost of living, the cost of doing business, and every other facet of the economy. Inflation is like a balloon. A balloon can be filled with air up to a point, depending on its size and strength. But when too much air is pumped into it, the balloon will always ‘burst.’ That is also true of constant economic inflation; it eventually leads to an economic ‘bust.’ From the economic viewpoint alone, authorities agree that throughout history every case of rampant inflation has ended in the destruction of that nation’s money. Time and again this has happened, without exception.

Since it is apparent that the money systems of the world are built on very fragile foundations, would it not be good to have a system that could eliminate economic uncertainties? But is a stable economy and the ending of money problems just a dream? No, it is not. In fact, it is a certainty!

This is what we learn when we consult the inspired Word of God, the Holy Bible. Many of its prophecies have already been fulfilled with unerring accuracy. That gives us confidence that those prophecies dealing with our time will also come to pass without fail. As the Bible shows, God will eventually provide a system of government that will solve permanently all economic difficulties. That government is the one Jesus taught his followers to pray for, the heavenly kingdom of God.​—Matthew 6:10.

Because of what is certain to come in the near future, you do well not to place your trust and hope in money nor in other material things. It is, instead, to the new order of God’s making that one should look for the solution to all of man’s problems, including the economic ones.

I wasn't used to praying, for mum and I seldomly attend church service then, but I managed to say a little words to God and he did answer my prayer and that incidence brought me closer to God
Mum,I mean Mrs Winchester had gone out that morning and a thought hit me, I moved into my room and took a bath, I dressed up nicely and seductively, I put on cosmetic and deodorant, I let my hair fall to my back, I checked the mirror and I love what I saw.
I took a sleeping pill and I ground it into powder,I wrapped it in a paper and tucked it inside my bra.
I quickly put few of my clothes and two extra inhalers (I am asthmatic) in a box. I wasn't sure if the plan will work but there's no harm in trying
I moved to the sitting room where the two guards were sitting and I moved majestically swaying my buttocks and hair, they both looked at me lustfully and they stood up
"Hey sit guys, I mean no harm ok, I just feel like accepting everything as fate and I feel like partying today, just want to ask you if you'll like to join me? I said smiling brightly trying to hide my fear of things turning sour.
They both grunted and looked at me suspiciously, then one of them finally talked
"Ok, it's fine but don't try anything stupid'
I winked at them and turned to the kitchen door still walking seductively, I took a bottle of Scotch, three glasses and charge water, I quickly poured the ground sleeping pill inside the charge water,I shook it and it dissolved,then I head to the sitting room
"I've considered being the new director of the Sex house but I'm not going to be the strip girl,you know I have the right to find someone who will voluntarily become the strip girl once I become the director, and that's what I'll do,or what do you guys think?" I said smiling pouring the Scotch into the cups, I added the charge water to only two and I took the third one without charge water
"I just want to get drunk and rest my head today after all this while,I add water to yours because I don't want you to get drunk so as not to incur mom's wrath" I said and that convinced them.
"Cheers to the upcoming director of  W sex house" said one of them and we all celebrate
I drank a little from the cup making sure I didn't get myself intoxicated
Within few minutes,they both started snoring and that was the time for me
I went to my room and took my box and then moved to mom's room to get my car key, I opened one of her drawers and that when I saw a file with Kathleen Olive Winchester boldly written on it and I took it and drove out.  Finally my freedom
